Battle Through the Heavens: Who put Laozi in my storage ring?

"Don't worry, Yan'er, I will keep this a secret! Even the Grand Elder and the others won't know a thing!"

Xiao Yan shook his head: "That's not necessary, but..."

"How did you know my son had refined a grade three elixir?!"

When he looked over, he saw that Xiao Zhan had already turned his head and was "chatting happily" with the elder in the second row.

Xiao Yan: "..."

His eye twitched, and he shook his head helplessly. Oh well, let it be. In all these years since his cultivation was destroyed, his father was the only one who was more anxious than he was.

In just a few seconds, apart from Xiao Yu who still had her arms crossed over her chest, her pretty face full of disbelief and doubt, her beautiful eyes staring "fiercely" at Xiao Yan, the entire Xiao family at the auction knew that Xiao Yan had already been able to refine third-grade pills.

"The next items for auction are twenty-one Grade Two pills: seven Blood Fusion Pills, seven Qi Recovery Pills, and seven Blood Explosion Pills. According to Master Gu Ni's appraisal, each pill is of superior quality, hence the starting price... ten thousand gold coins per pill!" Ya Fei said in a seductive tone.

These second-grade pills have similar effects, all acting in battle, especially providing strong support to powerful individuals like Battle Masters and Great Battle Masters. If used correctly, they can even turn the tide in a life-or-death situation.

Therefore, they were put together and sold.

"hiss……"

Many people in the audience gasped in shock.

Grade 2 pills aren't rare, but auctioning twenty-one of them at once, especially since they're of superior quality, is quite extravagant.

"Hurry up and bring it up!"

"I'm already bursting with thirst!"

"It's just..."

Accompanied by a series of urging voices, Consort Ya covered her red lips and stopped keeping everyone in suspense. She waved her hand, signaling a maid to bring over a jade tray with a full twenty bottles of second-grade pills.

She casually picked up a bottle, unscrewed the cap, and a faint medicinal fragrance wafted out, invigorating the entire hall.

Even Jialiebi licked his lips, a greedy look on his face, and joined the bidding.

Xiao Zhan, however, crossed his arms and acted as if it were none of his business, and did not participate at all.

One by one, second-grade pills were auctioned off.

According to Xiao Yan's estimate, the price has at least doubled! These second-grade pills alone will bring in at least 400,000 gold coins. Of course... this is under the condition that Gu Ni and Ya Fei give up all the profits, the medicinal materials are free, the pill formula is free, and all the profits are theirs.

"Well……"

Xiao Yan remained calm, glancing at the alluring Ya Fei on the stage. The Xiao family was indeed desperately short of money, so he wouldn't refuse this "investment."

In the future, you will surely be richly rewarded.

It was precisely because of these large quantities of second-grade pills that the wallets of the various families were depleted, allowing Xiao Zhan to successfully bid 300,000 gold coins for the high-level Xuan-rank cultivation technique "Wind Sweep Technique".

Just as the noise of the crowd began to rise and everyone was preparing to leave,

Ya Fei chuckled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, due to unforeseen circumstances, the auction house has temporarily added four Grade 3 pills. Please wait a moment."

"..."

The scene suddenly fell silent.

Countless people stared in astonishment at Ya Fei and the approaching Master Gu Ni, their hearts filled with shock and disbelief. A third-grade elixir!

It's been several years since a treasure of this caliber has appeared in Wutan City.

"Hehe, this third-grade pill is called Qi-Boosting Powder. After consuming it, a level nine Dou Qi can increase the probability of breaking through to Dou Zhe by about 90%!" Gu Ni chuckled and stroked his beard as he personally oversaw the presentation of this grand finale treasure.

"What? Isn't this just Qi Gathering Powder?"

"The Qi Gathering Powder can reliably help one break through to the Dou Zhe level, but the 90% probability of the Qi Ascension Powder is probably only a hair's breadth away from that of the Qi Gathering Powder."

You should know that the Qi Gathering Powder is a fourth-grade elixir! Let alone the small city of Wutan, even in the Jia Ma Empire, very few people can afford it; they wouldn't even dare to dream of it. But this Qi-Boosting Powder…

With only a 10% chance, it's practically a substitute for Qi-Gathering Powder.

Seeing the auction hall bustling with activity again, Master Gu Ni smiled and stroked his beard: "The starting price for each item is 100,000 gold coins. Let's begin."

"110,000!"

"130,000!"

"..."

The Galleo family seat.

Holding a Qi-Boosting Powder he had just acquired, Liu Xi's eyes flashed with shock. "It's actually of high quality. The person who refined this medicine must be a fourth-grade alchemist..."

"Master Liu, I've heard that one can determine who made the medicine based on the method used. Do you know the person who made the medicine?"

Galeo stood to the side, his face full of obsequiousness, licking incessantly.

"Well……"

Liu Xi's eye twitched. His teacher was only a peak second-grade alchemist. How could he possibly know a fourth-grade alchemist?

Those who can reach the fourth rank are all branch presidents or vice presidents of some alchemist guild. They are all well-known figures in the entire Jia Ma Empire.

But he vaguely noticed that the Xiao family across the street were also casting "strange" glances at him, especially the stunningly beautiful girl. He coughed lightly twice and revealed a hearty smile: "That's right, he's an elder in the family. He's just that one with a rather eccentric temperament. He's a loner and we rarely see him. I can tell from this alchemy technique that it was his doing at a glance."

"So Brother Liu actually has a fourth-grade alchemist elder as a senior." Galeo's voice was a little louder.

Chapter 14 Beating Liu Xi, the Xiao Family's Mysterious Rank 3 Alchemist

Many people around heard this and looked shocked and envious.

The status of a fourth-grade alchemist far surpasses that of a Dou Ling expert. Their prestige is so great that even the patriarch of the Mittel family would have to show them respect.

Unexpectedly, it turned out to be an elder in Liu Xi's family.

Xiao Yan: "..."

He gave the boastful Liu Xi a strange look; he didn't remember having such an unworthy descendant.

“Miss Xun’er, it’s really a waste for a beautiful woman to stay in the Xiao family. Why don’t I take you to visit the clan another day and let you see what a real alchemist family is like?” Liu Xi invited with a forced gentlemanly smile, seeing that the atmosphere was just right.

"..."

"roll!"

However, before Xiao Xun'er could speak, she was rebuked by Xiao Yu, who was sitting to the side. The latter had always had a fiery temper; otherwise, she wouldn't have chased after Xiao Yan for half a day after he saw her body and touched her long legs.

Xiao Yusu's hand was subtly gripping the hilt of her sword, her beautiful eyes coldly fixed on Liu Xi.

"Don't think I don't know what filthy things you're thinking. Xun'er is a member of the Xiao family. If you want to lay a hand on her, you'll have to get past me first!"

Liu Xi's face darkened, and when he caught a glimpse of the three gold stars on Xiao Yu's chest, his arrogance was slightly suppressed, but he forced a cold laugh.

"Don't push your luck! My Liu clan is a great clan of alchemists, and we are disciples of Zhang Ling. If you dare to insult my reputation again, I will..."

"So what if they don't appreciate kindness?!"

Xiao Ning stood up, pointed at the willow mat, and stared wide-eyed.

"Do you know how Xiao came to be from Wutan City?!"

Liu Xi's eye twitched.

He grew increasingly annoyed, staring coldly at Xiao Xun'er across from him.

"I originally invited you out of kindness, thinking you were a sensible person, but I was mocked by your Xiao family. Now it seems that you are no different from the ordinary women in Wutan City, even when you're lying in bed..."

next moment.

A fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down, carrying a whistling wind, and slammed straight into Liu Xi's face.

The latter's body slammed backward, and in mid-air, several teeth mixed with blood were spat out.

He sprayed Galeo, who was standing next to him, all over his face.

A handsome young man dressed in black, with a calm expression, appeared in front of Liu Xi at some point. Only by seeing the gradually dissipating fighting spirit on his fist did one realize that he was the one who had just made the move.

The entire room fell silent.

They looked back in surprise.

Because the venue was dark and crowded with people competing for the limited amount of Qi-raising powder, Xiao Ning and the others' conflict went unnoticed until Xiao Yan made a move.

Xiao Yan clenched his fists, looking down indifferently at Liu Xi, who had bumped into a group of Jialie tribesmen and was caught by Jialiebi. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he made a lewd joke at his Xun'er.

Are you looking for death?

"You actually...regained your talent?" Galeo's pupils constricted sharply, and he took a shaky step back.

These days, rumors have been circulating that the Xiao family's alchemist prescribed a pill for Xiao Yan, restoring his former talent. Everyone took it as a joke, but little did they know...

Liu Xi was a two-star Dou Zhe, yet he didn't even have a chance to react. He had a premonition that even if he was one star higher than Liu Xi, he probably wouldn't be able to escape that punch.

Fast, too fast!!!

That monster is back!

Discussions gradually arose around them, all of them shocked by the strength Xiao Yan had displayed. Even Jia Liebi's expression turned somewhat grim.

This is not good news for the Jia Lie family.

It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call a sixteen-year-old fighter a future Fighting King, not to mention that with his seasoned eye, he noticed something unusual... This kid is probably more than just an ordinary fighter!

"Xiao Yan, you're causing trouble at the Mittel Auction House. Do you think you're disregarding Mittel's rules?" Jia Liebi narrowed his eyes, revealing a sinister and cunning smile, before looking at Master Gu Ni, who was hurrying over from a distance.
